Alpha and Omega

Talking to people about Jesus is the best thing in the world. If you have a chance to talk about Jesus, you should.

If that's not enough, maybe this will convince you of the importance and the joy of sharing Jesus with others. 

A conversation today brought up the idea of Jesus being Lord and Savior. For many Christians, this isn't something that is always evident in our lives. It's simple for people to see faults in their life and to realize they can't depend on themselves and accept Jesus as Savior of their lives. But this doesn't necessarily mean that those people live their lives as though Jesus is the lord over their life. Not just a lord, but the lord. 

Let me just say this: Jesus is King. He is reigning, and ruling and will continue to reign and rule for all of eternity. 

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." -Revelation 22:13

Now if you serve a king, you can't offer him half of you. He gets all of you. If you don't give 100% to your king, you can be considered a traitor and guilty of treason. So why should Jesus be any different? He is the only eternal King that will reign forever. His value is above and beyond anything we could give up to make Him Lord of our lives. Jesus will not accept anything less than people who are sold out for Him. 

"So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." -Revelation 3:16

"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." - Matthew 12:30 

Submitting everything in our lives to Jesus and making him Lord is the best thing we can do. Not only accepting His blood to wash us clean, but living with conviction and evidence that Jesus is the King in our lives and the ultimate One that we serve.
